    Patti has provided a lifetime of friendship, support, and fun memories for our mom and us. We love her dearly for that. She will be very missed.

    Thoughtfulness, sincerity and fun defined your life. Caring for others is what made you special. 1,000 years of love glowed within your heart. I burst with pride to call you my sister!

    I am so glad I had 40 years to know you. You are the sister I never had. I will miss our talks, laughs and friendship. You were loved and will be missed so much.

    Love Donnie and Di

    Mrs. Portell, you will certainly be missed. You always treated me like part of your family. Your energy, thoughtfulness, good spirit, kind heart and fun to be around can never be replaced. There are no words to describe that empty feeling and you will certainly be missed. Thank you for everything.

    I met her 30 years ago, and I have absolutely adored her the entire time. She has been a wonderful friend, always there when you need her and always great to have her on your side! I will miss her everyday!
